Abstract

In this paper, we present a summarization system for spontaneous dialogues which consists of a novel multi-stage architecture. It is specifically aimed at addressing issues related to the nature of the texts being spoken vs. written and being dialogical vs. monological. The system is embedded in a graphical user interface and was developed and tested on transcripts of recorded telephone conversations in English and Spanish (CALLHOME).
